[Mpi-22] [MPI Forum] #7: Function pointer typedefs: "_function" vs. "_fn"

[William Gropp]

If you build the version with changes, all of the macros in the  
deleted or replaced code are still executed, which means that side- 
effects, such as index entries, are added.  I checked the official  
version, and the only index entries for the _fn versions are from the  
deprecated discussion and the change log.
